Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Joel Malcoln for WJ and O dot com. Let's
(00:02):
talk movies. Happerstein joins us the movie guy from pombe
Charts Paper dot com. I don't know why visions of
or the images of The rain Man saying things like yeah, Kmart,
Judge Wapner are coming to mind? Why would that be?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well when in doubt, when you have an artistic character.
Probably the best I've never was was rain Man. But
you know, did you remember from ten years ago a
movie called The Accountant?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I do, but I don't remember much about the movie.
To be completely honest.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Well, you know it's understandable, but start Ben Affleck and
he once again teams up with his director, Gavin O'Connor
for an enjoyable action picture. The first one was called
The Accountant. It was from twenty sixteen. And now we've
(01:02):
got to guess what, how's this for an exciting new title?
The Accountant too exciting? So somebody's earned their pay that day.
So he fascinating character named Christian Wolf, an autistic guy
who has a knack for solving very complex problems. He's
(01:26):
a math whiz, and he happens to also be an
assassin at the same time a good character custom mate
for Affleck, and it proves very popular first time around
with moviegoers. Nevertheless, the pandemic got in the way of
an expected fast sequel. But just as a few fans
of the First Room we're expecting to follow up, here
(01:49):
comes the Accountant Too, whoever title that it is, which
is in many ways is an improvement I think on
the original movie. He concerns the murder of an old
friend of Wolf's whose cryptic message resorts leave. He unites
Woke with a Treasury agent, cynthiad Robinson to solve the case.
(02:11):
The best thing about the sequel, though, is that it
involves Wolfe's estranged brother played by John Burtenthal, recruited to help,
a character who ups the humor level of the movie considerably,
very nicely. O'Connor also keeps the action quantity quite high,
and I think it makes for the satisfying entertainment package.
(02:32):
I would not be the least bit surprised if this
results in an Accountant's three, and we probably won't have
to wait another ten years for it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I think, wait, are you saying Accountants three? So they're
gonna they're gonna make it two? Accountants him and the brother.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
No, no, no, no, I did not mean that. I
may have misspoke Accountant three, although you know you did
Alien Aliens maybe maybe so maybe you're onto something.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
John Barenthal, he was not in the first one, right,
I couldn't remember.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Very briefly he was. He was, Okay, he was, but
it was just a really really minor character. And they've
they've really put him into prominence here in this one now,
and that's what makes the movie so is so enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I think I have a son who's autistic, as you know,
and so when I remember seeing this first one, because
I you know, I automatically get an interest, you know,
in it. Anytime there's a movie that that hasn't you know,
the Unbreakable Boy earlier this year, I was interested in
watching and years ago, uh there, you know, there's there
have always been obviously rain Man. We mentioned Bruce Willis.
(03:33):
Even in general.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Do you think the movies tend to depict autism?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Well, I mean, here here's the thing. Well, with with
the the in the trailers that I see again, I
don't remember the first account I know I saw it,
I just don't recall, which is crazy. Sure, you don't
have to see it, right, Like, you don't.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And that's like has that effect on people, But you don't.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You don't, you don't. I'm actually a fan. I like
his work, but I know I'm in the minority here,
but or especially between the two of us.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But better better director than actor.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I keep saying, you don't have to you don't have
to remember the first movie. Correct, No, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
We're enough. It helps just because you would know the
character a bit beforehand, but it's it's very much a
standalone film.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
So as and as somebody who's autistic, his character, based
on the trailers would remind me more of somebody you know,
we used to say had Aspergers, right, maybe mild Asperger syndrome,
which we don't. You know, they just put that now
on the spectrum. It's just autism. It's all autism now.
(04:39):
But anyway that you know, so just with the way
just no real personal connection and stuff. They kind of
make light of that in the trailer, like, you know,
no personal collect connection to the brother and all of that,
and it looks like he does a decent job with
that there. You know, I've seen movies where they really
(05:00):
have portrayed him well I don't remember what the movie was.
Maybe it was a Bruce Willis movie and there was
somebody autistic in it and there was a kid, and
I think it was just a regular actor familiar. Yeah,
and I don't remember what it was. It's kind of
an action film. He did pretty well. I remember more
about that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Than Bruce go of action film.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
What a surprise, Yeah, what a shaker. Anyway, this will
be good. I'll check this out, and I will be
with the twelve year old, so I probably won't. I
won't be seeing In fact, I don't think i'll be
seeing any movies since she's boycotting the Minecraft movie because
she thinks it looks stupid. And that's fine, because I
don't need to get hit by stuff that all these
crazy people are doing in the theaters. With that movie,
(05:40):
I'm sure you've heard about. Yeah, what else you got
for us?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Well? I Hostage the title of a tense trued crime
film based on a hold up and hostage taking an
Amsterdam that occurred in twenty twenty two. But before we
get to the unstable gun minute the with an automatic rifle,
this documentary like film focuses on a Bulgarian emigrat named
Ilion who realizes he's lost his earbuds okay, so he
(06:10):
goes to the city's central apple store to buy replacements.
It's a classic case of being in the wrong place
at the wrong time, because soon after he enters the store,
a Syrian refugime named Amar arrives at the store with
his machine gun blazing and takes Alion hostage, but follows
his fairly standard police and per standoff. Attempts to negotiate
(06:33):
with a hostage take a while. A large contingent of
Dutch cops and SPAT teams rush to the scene try
to maneuvement away from the hostage and the other customers
hiding in both a small closet and also on the
upstairs room. I Hostage is nothing you haven't seen before,
but director Bobby Bowman's is expert at building suspense, even
(06:56):
if you can guess where the film's going. Another film
is in within the subtitles, and it's available now on Netflix.
Well worth taking a look. I Hostage so you.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Don't have to actually pay more money to go and
sit and get all dressed and go and see this
movie and read the movie.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You can see this movie in your pajamas.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Absolutely if I got to read a movie, I don't
want to go through too much trouble, although Passion of
the Christ to me was well worth it. You have
an art house pick. Perhaps you know I was being serious.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I think is a steamy tailor Forbidden Love in the
nineteen fifties called on Swift Horses, based on her novel
the same name. Muriel and Lee are a passionate young
couple contemplating marriage, and they're secluded Kansas home, a house
that she inherited from her mother. But their lives are
about to become complicated by the arrival of his brother,
(07:54):
Julius that's played by the honky Jacob Alerdi. You know
him he played in the biopic Brizilla Well. Julius is
soon putting the moves on Muriel played by Daisy Eager Jones,
and the three of them back up and move to California.
Muriel gets a job as a diner waitress, where she
(08:15):
picks up racehorse tips that allow her to hit money
winners regularly and stash away money for her independence. Before long, though,
things get even messier as Julius takes up with a
casino buddy in Vegas and Muriel indulges her lesbian side
with a neighbor woman. So there's lots of same sex sex,
(08:37):
willerly ahead of its time, before it was really legal
or at least condoned. Emotions are high on swift Horses,
enough to fog up your glasses. Well seen in the
big stream. This is not the sort of movie they
ever make anymore. But I'm glad they did on swift Horses.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And I see that's playing in theaters. I did see
that one is I didn't see it. I see that
it's playing, but it's available. There's another movie out called
Until Dawn. So if you didn't get you know, if
you wanted your horror fix, uh now, as you often
do now on first site, this title would make you
(09:20):
think it's a vampire movie. But as I look at
the you know, and we already have one of those
out as you know, and I'll talk about my experience
with sinners in a minute here, But Until Dawn it
does not look like that. As I look at the
Fandango synopsis, it says one year. It's it's lengthy. By
the way, this synopsis, you know, some synopsises are like
(09:42):
one were one all right, here we go one year
after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friend's
Clover Okay, head into the remote alley where she vanished
in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they
find themselves star by a masked killer and horrifically murdered
(10:03):
one by one, only to wake up Okay, I've seen
this trailer, I know what this is now, only to
wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of
the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they're forced to
relive the nightmare again and again, only each time the
killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last.
Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes I'm not done yet.
(10:25):
They have a limited number of deaths left, and the
only way to escape is to survive until dawn. I
wonder if this is a if this is like a game.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Our picture version of a Groundhog Day.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh no, of a video Well, they did that already,
that was Happy Death Day. But I'm wondering if this
is it is like a video game. I don't I
don't know because I don't play video games, because you know,
I have to work for a living. But but yeah,
I wonder if that's what this sounds like.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Not a whole lot of anything, but I do a
long day of it anyway until Dawn sounds good, although
that's another film I'll have to wait on because I
will be with the twelve year old. This is an
R rated horror film, which I actually liked the idea
of because so many times the water them down, the
make them PG. Thirteen to get a wider audience.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And try and get an audience.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, and the kids go and see them anyway, nobody's
checking IDs at these movies come.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
On for an audience to come in to let anybody
go see them.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Sinners. I saw Sinners. I was one movie. That's all
I saw. You know. I caught up the week before.
I told you I saw four movies Saturday Sunday the
week prior, and I probably should have held back one
or two. So really that was all I really had
that I wanted to see.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And what did you think of Sinners?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
You know? I was a little let down. And I'm
seeing comments on Facebook, you know, and we're at advertise.
I read the comments and some people feel the same way.
Other people think it was great. You know, I know
you were you enjoyed it?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I did, but wouldn't great.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
My first complaint with it is can we get to
the juke joint quicker? And I understand this isn't just
you know, a run of the mill vampire film. They're
trying to send messages and whatnot. I get, you know,
based on who's making the movie. I'm not talking about
Michael B. Jordan, but the director, writer flaking on his name,
(12:24):
the you know black panther guy that always works with
with Michael B. Jordan, there are messages that he wants
to get out and I get that, but and some
of the some of the getting there to the Duke
Joint was entertaining, but some of it was just okay,
let's can we get to the vampires already? Yeah? You
(12:47):
know you didn't get that. You didn't have that feeling?
Did you? You like this? Si?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
You know I could wait a long time to get
to the vampires.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, I think that. Yeah, maybe that's it. We went
with different intentions, you know, is different. Yeah, I was
going to see a vampire.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I think it eventually got there for me.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Get it did get there, and you know, and it
got there and and the makeup was great, and the
acting was was was really good. And you know, Michael B.
Jordan playing two different parts is not easy. Just to
ask Robert de Niro. Uh, this movie obviously making a
lot more money than that one he played two parts in.
(13:28):
But yeah, so yeah, I just and there were things
about it I didn't understand. There are messages that I
didn't get. And I don't want to get into it
too much for anybody that might be still planning to
see it. I don't want to spoil it. But there
are things in the movie that happened that I'm just
scratching my head still. And maybe that's why I don't
have hair happen because I scratch me.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I'll explain it to you off the air.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's okay anyway. That's my thoughts on Sinners. So the movies.
I would like to get to Accountant too, and until
Dawn and uh, until I'm no longer with my twelve
year old. I'll have to wait for both of those.
I guess. I don't know. Again, what is that out
there for her?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Not much?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Right minecraft it looks like is the only one, and
she's she's boycotted that she's told me now, I don't
want to see that. It looks stupid. So that means
we won't be seeing a movie this weekend. We do
have Disneys again.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I think she's got a future as a critic. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I would almost take her to see Drop, but it's
down to like one showtime. I enjoy Drop when I
saw that, that was the last movie I really loved,
and I think she could handle that. It's you know,
it's PG. Thirteen, it's not there's nothing in there that's.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But would she enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
She might? Yeah, I mean I think she Yeah, I
think she's she would. But the problem is I'm looking
at like my theater and it's only one showtime, so
that's probably.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Not very quickly.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, I didn't make it, didn't make a ton of money.
I guess. Looks like white, looks like snow. White is
finally gone. So that's good, looks like a well.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Looking Sure we should show up on Disney.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Plus, I'm looking here, a working man's mostly gone also
for most of the theaters. So those those two captured us,
all right, anything on the horizon.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Mister, Oh well, next week is the week of thunderbolts. Uh,
you got your your Marvel Bomb spandex epic excitement.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I hope, Yeah, the next Disney Bomb.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Florence Pew I believe is the star of that one.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yes with her with her horrible Russian accent. Did you know?
Did you know that Cheeach and Chong have a new
movie that comes out this weekend apparently, but it's not
playing anywhere, so I don't know where it's showing. But
Cheech and Chong's last movie, and it's uh, I guess
it's a comedy documentary with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong.
(15:59):
As a kid, I was a fan of those movies.
I don't know if you were sure Up and Smoke.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I was, indeed, I have one of them. Is no
longer with us? Was that right?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
No, they're both around. They're both around, Cheech and Tommy.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, just retiring.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, No, they're both alive, Tommy Chong hitting on his
bong and then Cheech. No, they're both they're both still
with us. And you know, I when I was a kid,
I was probably ten years old when Up and Smoke
was out, and I'm an older older sister and brother.
My sister and her boyfriend at the time took me
(16:34):
to see Up in Smoke. I was, like I said,
I was probably ten years old. I had lines from
that movie memorized and still do. But I won't put you.
I won't put you through that. But then, of course
they did. One of the movies had what's his name?
That the hamburger guy he played ended up playing pee
(16:54):
Wee Herman. We call him pee Wee Herman. Of course
that wasn't his real name. But yeah, Paul Rubins. Paul
Rubins had a part in one of their one of
their movies. It might have been their third one, Nice Dreams. Maybe.
I think that might have been the one. I think
next movie was the second one after Anyway, we could
talk about I could talk about Cheechichok forever. But last movie.
(17:16):
If I can ever find out where this thing is showing,
I will. I will definitely give it a watch, but
a last not And if it's showing in Ortlanto, I
definitely won't take the twelve year old to see it.
Although you know, hey, I turned out okay after watching
Up and Smoke at ten all right? Maybe not all right? Well,
we'll we'll chat next week.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Okay, Thunderbolts, it is Take care
Hey, Joel Malcoln for WJ and O dot com. Let's

if you can guess where the film's going. Another film
is in within the subtitles, and it's available now on Netflix.
Well worth taking a look. I Hostage so you.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Don't have to actually pay more money to go and
sit and get all dressed and go and see this
movie and read the movie.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You can see this movie in your pajamas.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Absolutely if I got to read a movie, I don't
want to go through too much trouble, although Passion of
the Christ to me was well worth it. You have
an art house pick. Perhaps you know I was being serious.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I think is a steamy tailor Forbidden Love in the
nineteen fifties called on Swift Horses, based on her novel
the same name. Muriel and Lee are a passionate young
couple contemplating marriage, and they're secluded Kansas home, a house
that she inherited from her mother. But their lives are
about to become complicated by the arrival of his brother,
(07:54):
Julius that's played by the honky Jacob Alerdi. You know
him he played in the biopic Brizilla Well. Julius is

picks up racehorse tips that allow her to hit money
winners regularly and stash away money for her independence. Before long, though,
things get even messier as Julius takes up with a
casino buddy in Vegas and Muriel indulges her lesbian side
with a neighbor woman. So there's lots of same sex sex,
(08:37):
willerly ahead of its time, before it was really legal
or at least condoned. Emotions are high on swift Horses,
enough to fog up your glasses. Well seen in the
big stream. This is not the sort of movie they
ever make anymore. But I'm glad they did on swift Horses.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And I see that's playing in theaters. I did see
that one is I didn't see it. I see that
it's playing, but it's available. There's another movie out called
Until Dawn. So if you didn't get you know, if
you wanted your horror fix, uh now, as you often
do now on first site, this title would make you
(09:20):
think it's a vampire movie. But as I look at
the you know, and we already have one of those
out as you know, and I'll talk about my experience
with sinners in a minute here, But Until Dawn it
does not look like that. As I look at the
Fandango synopsis, it says one year. It's it's lengthy. By
the way, this synopsis, you know, some synopsises are like
(09:42):
one were one all right, here we go one year
after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friend's
Clover Okay, head into the remote alley where she vanished
in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they
find themselves star by a masked killer and horrifically murdered
(10:03):
one by one, only to wake up Okay, I've seen
this trailer, I know what this is now, only to
wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of
the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they're forced to
relive the nightmare again and again, only each time the
killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last.
Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes I'm not done yet.
(10:25):
They have a limited number of deaths left, and the
only way to escape is to survive until dawn. I
wonder if this is a if this is like a game.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Our picture version of a Groundhog Day.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh no, of a video Well, they did that already,
that was Happy Death Day. But I'm wondering if this
is it is like a video game. I don't I
don't know because I don't play video games, because you know,
I have to work for a living. But but yeah,
I wonder if that's what this sounds like.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Not a whole lot of anything, but I do a
long day of it anyway until Dawn sounds good, although
that's another film I'll have to wait on because I
will be with the twelve year old. This is an
R rated horror film, which I actually liked the idea
of because so many times the water them down, the
make them PG. Thirteen to get a wider audience.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And try and get an audience.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, and the kids go and see them anyway, nobody's
checking IDs at these movies come.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
On for an audience to come in to let anybody
go see them.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Sinners. I saw Sinners. I was one movie. That's all
I saw. You know. I caught up the week before.
I told you I saw four movies Saturday Sunday the
week prior, and I probably should have held back one
or two. So really that was all I really had
that I wanted to see.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
And what did you think of Sinners?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
You know? I was a little let down. And I'm
seeing comments on Facebook, you know, and we're at advertise.
I read the comments and some people feel the same way.
Other people think it was great. You know, I know
you were you enjoyed it?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I did, but wouldn't great.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
My first complaint with it is can we get to
the juke joint quicker? And I understand this isn't just
you know, a run of the mill vampire film. They're
trying to send messages and whatnot. I get, you know,
based on who's making the movie. I'm not talking about
Michael B. Jordan, but the director, writer flaking on his name,
(12:24):
the you know black panther guy that always works with
with Michael B. Jordan, there are messages that he wants
to get out and I get that, but and some
of the some of the getting there to the Duke
Joint was entertaining, but some of it was just okay,
let's can we get to the vampires already? Yeah? You
(12:47):
know you didn't get that. You didn't have that feeling?
Did you? You like this? Si?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
You know I could wait a long time to get
to the vampires.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, I think that. Yeah, maybe that's it. We went
with different intentions, you know, is different. Yeah, I was
going to see a vampire.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I think it eventually got there for me.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Get it did get there, and you know, and it
got there and and the makeup was great, and the
acting was was was really good. And you know, Michael B.
Jordan playing two different parts is not easy. Just to
ask Robert de Niro. Uh, this movie obviously making a
lot more money than that one he played two parts in.
(13:28):
But yeah, so yeah, I just and there were things
about it I didn't understand. There are messages that I
didn't get. And I don't want to get into it
too much for anybody that might be still planning to
see it. I don't want to spoil it. But there
are things in the movie that happened that I'm just
scratching my head still. And maybe that's why I don't
have hair happen because I scratch me.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I'll explain it to you off the air.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's okay anyway. That's my thoughts on Sinners. So the movies.
I would like to get to Accountant too, and until
Dawn and uh, until I'm no longer with my twelve
year old. I'll have to wait for both of those.
I guess. I don't know. Again, what is that out
there for her?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Not much?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Right minecraft it looks like is the only one, and
she's she's boycotted that she's told me now, I don't
want to see that. It looks stupid. So that means
we won't be seeing a movie this weekend. We do
have Disneys again.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I think she's got a future as a critic. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I would almost take her to see Drop, but it's
down to like one showtime. I enjoy Drop when I
saw that, that was the last movie I really loved,
and I think she could handle that. It's you know,
it's PG. Thirteen, it's not there's nothing in there that's.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But would she enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
She might? Yeah, I mean I think she Yeah, I
think she's she would. But the problem is I'm looking
at like my theater and it's only one showtime, so
that's probably.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Not very quickly.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, I didn't make it, didn't make a ton of money.
I guess. Looks like white, looks like snow. White is
finally gone. So that's good, looks like a well.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Looking Sure we should show up on Disney.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Plus, I'm looking here, a working man's mostly gone also
for most of the theaters. So those those two captured us,
all right, anything on the horizon.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Mister, Oh well, next week is the week of thunderbolts. Uh,
you got your your Marvel Bomb spandex epic excitement.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I hope, Yeah, the next Disney Bomb.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Florence Pew I believe is the star of that one.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yes with her with her horrible Russian accent. Did you know?
Did you know that Cheeach and Chong have a new
movie that comes out this weekend apparently, but it's not
playing anywhere, so I don't know where it's showing. But
Cheech and Chong's last movie, and it's uh, I guess
it's a comedy documentary with Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong.
(15:59):
As a kid, I was a fan of those movies.
I don't know if you were sure Up and Smoke.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
I was, indeed, I have one of them. Is no
longer with us? Was that right?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
No, they're both around. They're both around, Cheech and Tommy.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, just retiring.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, No, they're both alive, Tommy Chong hitting on his
bong and then Cheech. No, they're both they're both still
with us. And you know, I when I was a kid,
I was probably ten years old when Up and Smoke
was out, and I'm an older older sister and brother.
My sister and her boyfriend at the time took me
(16:34):
to see Up in Smoke. I was, like I said,
I was probably ten years old. I had lines from
that movie memorized and still do. But I won't put you.
I won't put you through that. But then, of course
they did. One of the movies had what's his name?
That the hamburger guy he played ended up playing pee
(16:54):
Wee Herman. We call him pee Wee Herman. Of course
that wasn't his real name. But yeah, Paul Rubins. Paul
Rubins had a part in one of their one of
their movies. It might have been their third one, Nice Dreams. Maybe.
I think that might have been the one. I think
next movie was the second one after Anyway, we could
talk about I could talk about Cheechichok forever. But last movie.
(17:16):
If I can ever find out where this thing is showing,
I will. I will definitely give it a watch, but
a last not And if it's showing in Ortlanto, I
definitely won't take the twelve year old to see it.
Although you know, hey, I turned out okay after watching
Up and Smoke at ten all right? Maybe not all right? Well,
we'll we'll chat next week.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Okay, Thunderbolts, it is Take care
